Chapter 2782

Ellar thought that as long as Nicole was there, Patricia should be too. With that, Ellar came up with an idea and

decided to call Jared.

"Hello," Jared’s cold voice blared out through the speakers.

With a chill running down his spine now, Ellar began to regret making the call in the first place.

Then, he gritted his teeth in determination, and with Patricia in his mind, he continued, "H-Hey brother-in-law. It's

me, Ellar."

After pausing for a moment, Jared's voice softened a little." Speak."

Using the word, "brother-in-law" to address Jared clearly pleased him, and so, Ellar became more comfortable

talking to him.

"Jared, I'm treating Nicole and the others to dinner tonight. You should come too," Ellar sincerely invited.

Although Jared's presence might affect the atmosphere, he was also the only person who could bring Nicole home

without Patricia following her back. This was the best idea Ellar could think of to isolate Patricia and get her to be

alone.

"Yeah, sure," Jared agreed and hung up.

Upon hearing the beep, Ellar blinked his eyes in disbelief. He was so excited that he was on the verge of shouting

out in joy.

And after returning to Nicole's office, Ellar grinned and said," Nicole, I'll make the reservations now. Do you have

any special cravings?"

"I'm good. Anything will do," Nicole replied, thinking that she was up for anything as long as it was delicious.

"If you have none, I'll make reservations in an Italian restaurant then," Ellar informed.

He then called the restaurant's number and booked a private room for ten.

"Why did you book a room for so many people?" Nicole asked in surprise.

"Patricia said that everyone who has given me a helping hand will be coming. I'm not sure how many will show up,

so it's better to leave a few spots empty," Ellar said confidently.

For Ellar, all he needed was for Nicole, Jared, and Patricia to show up. The game plan for him was that Jared and

Nicole would leave once dinner was over, leaving Patricia alone. When that moment arrived, he would seize the

opportunity to spend more time with her.

"What are you smiling at?" Nicole asked with a frown, as Ellar was grinning like an idiot from ear to ear.

Seeing this, Ellar snapped out of it and regained his composure. "It's nothing. I was just wondering whether I should

stick around or return to BayCorp."

"It's still early, so you should probably get back to BayCorp and get some work done," Nicole suggested.

However, Nicole's response did not satisfy Ellar, who argued, "Nicole, I'll have nothing to do even if I do head back.

Why don't I stay here and wait for you?"

"Are you sure you'd like to wait for me?" Nicole teased, having seen through Ellar's intentions.

"Hehe, I mean, I'm waiting for everyone," Ellar chuckled, feeling embarrassed and nervous.

Seeing that Ellar was adamant in having his way, Nicole rolled her eyes out of amusement and warned, "Don't

disrupt our work, then."

"I promise I won't, "Ellar declared with a solemn look, trying to appear more serious.

Nicole shook her head and chuckled as Ellar left her office in high spirits. It was hard for her to imagine that Ellar

actually liked Patricia; she wondered if Patricia would ever even like someone as socially awkward as Ellar. If

anything, the dynamic they had felt more like a one sided relationship between an elder and younger sibling, where

only one was fond of the other.

Ellar headed straight to Patricia's office after leaving Nicole's. Without saying anything to her, he stood around and

helped, pouring her coffee and offering her snacks from time to time. Whenever Patricia raised her hand, a glass of

water would appear and be handed to her.

At first, Patricia was extremely resistant, but then, Ellar remained silent and unintrusive. He simply stood nearby,

ready to assist her when she needed it. This left Patricia speechless, and eventually, she just let him be.

"Ugh," Patricia groaned after a while, unable to stifle her frustration when another glass of water was offered to her

again.

After setting the files in her hand down, Patricia looked Ellar in the eye and said, "I don't need your assistance, and

I'm not thirsty. Sometimes, I stop just to take a break."
